Ontsnap aan de drukte en ontdek de authentieke smaken van Penang met een intieme kookworkshop van markt tot tafel in het vredige dorpje Balik Pulau. Deze kleinschalige workshop vindt plaats in ons familiehuis en biedt een unieke kans om je onder te dompelen in de Maleisische keuken, cultuur en gastvrijheid, terwijl je leert traditionele lokale gerechten helemaal zelf te bereiden.
Je ervaring begint met een begeleid bezoek aan een lokale markt, waar je de levendige kraampjes verkent en meer te weten komt over de verse producten, aromatische kruiden, specerijen en essentiële ingrediënten die de Maleisische keuken kenmerken. Onderweg deelt je gids inzichten in lokale eettradities en het dagelijks leven in Penang.
Eenmaal terug in het ouderlijk huis, steek je de handen uit de mouwen voor een praktische kookworkshop waarin je een selectie authentieke Maleisische gerechten bereidt met traditionele technieken en lokale ingrediënten. Of je nu een ervaren thuiskok bent of een complete beginner, je krijgt stap-voor-stap begeleiding in een ontspannen en gastvrije omgeving.

Cook In Penang
Geïnspireerd door hun thuis in Balik Pulau, Penang, hebben Nizam en Wany Cook In Penang opgericht om een kant van Penang te laten zien die veel bezoekers nooit te zien krijgen. Het is meer dan alleen een kookcursus; het is een kans om het dagelijkse dorpsleven te ervaren, een lokale markt te bezoeken, gerechten te koken en te genieten van de gastvrijheid in hun familiehuis. Bij elke ervaring draait het niet alleen om het delen van recepten, maar ook om de verhalen, tradities en herinneringen die Penang echt onvergetelijk maken.

This experience was so much more than a cooking class. We enjoyed exploring the local market, asking questions about Malaysian food, and then preparing everything ourselves in a beautiful family home. The hosts created such a friendly atmosphere that everyone in our group felt comfortable from the start. We laughed, learned, ate incredible food, and left with recipes we'll definitely make again. A must-do when visiting Penang!

A Wonderful Couple's Experience
We loved every minute of this class. The peaceful village setting was a refreshing change from the busy city, and the market tour introduced us to ingredients we had never seen before. The hands-on cooking was easy to follow, and we appreciated how the host explained the cultural significance behind each dish. It felt genuine, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Like Cooking with Friends
Our group of friends wanted something different from the usual sightseeing, and this exceeded our expectations. The hosts welcomed us into their home like old friends, and the market visit was full of interesting stories about local produce and spices. Cooking together was so much fun, and sharing the meal afterward made the whole experience even more special. We highly recommend it!

Perfect Family Activity
We joined with our two teenage children, and everyone had a fantastic time. The market tour was educational, and the hosts were incredibly patient, making sure the kids could participate in every step of the cooking. The atmosphere was relaxed, the food was amazing, and we loved learning about Malaysian traditions. We left with full stomachs and wonderful memories.

A Truly Authentic Experience
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Penang. Visiting the local market before the class gave us a much better understanding of Malaysian ingredients, and the cooking session in the family home felt so warm and personal. We learned techniques we can actually use at home, and every dish was delicious. If you're looking for an authentic cultural experience away from the tourist crowds, this is it.
